What's Wrong With Palin?

What's Wrong With Palin?

It almost seems that the left hates Palin more than they hate Bush.  She seems to be the focus of every left-leaning website and publication out there on a daily basis.  The attacks on her and her family have been nothing short of discusting.  I have even had liberals tell me straight out, "she scares me".  Of course, when I ask for specifics they don't seem to have an answer, much like asking them about Obama's accomplishments.

I do understand how a strong, conservative woman like Palin can be intimidating to liberals, I mean she is tougher than most of them.  However, I'm curious as to what is the basis of all this hate.  Is it just because she's a conservative, or are there real reasons to fear her?

If I recall stories of the man correctly, Jesus was very much into giving one's own money to help the poor. I don't think he was known for taking other people's money (who knows what they would have done with it) to help the poor.

That is your inherant mistake about American liberals.  To them, your money is their money.  Obama has just been honest about it, but all you have to do is read the loony boards to understand they dont want to work for it, they want to be given it.

BTW:  As for Jesus being anything, arguments can be made for each side - against!  Jesus talked about loving your enemy, not "God ---- America of the KKK".  I doubt Jesus woudl have anything to do with those Pharisees.

Jesus talked about loving your enemy

End of quote

There was a scene in one of the 1960s Three Musketeers' movies (my favourite versions of the many) where Cardinal Richelieu talked to the captain of his guards and gave him orders to do evil.

The captain acknowledged the order and before he went to execute it he told the cardinal about his feelings about the orders:

"I hate you."

The cardinal smiled and answered:

"It is different for me, my son, I love you."

I believe that is the kind of love some liberals promote. That's why the most vile anti-Semites can claim that they do not hate. They love everyone. They are just capable of doing mean things while loving the victim.

You realize, that Jesus was a liberal. Help the sick, give to the poor, etc. WWJVF? who would Jesus vote for? Obama, that's who.
End of quote

For Jesus to be in the business of politics especially Obama's politics he would have to abandon his own truth.

For starters those from small towns are pro-American, how about an eight year old palling around withe terrorists. The rhetorical question who is the real Obama as though he's just a smart ass black brat that clings to the good reverend's stormy rhetoric.

Any deity would SMITE almost every politician. And than appoint someone worthy. So he would vote for neither.

But I would contend that Obama is LESS likely to make sense for a divine endorsement (although he HAS been declared a MESSIAH by some racist congragations).

I saw the Cameron piece live - no attribution or confirmation, just the sort of rumor-mongering that Fox has railed against in the past, which was surprising.  I'll wait for the inevitable book.

i think her worst moment was she suggested we cut spending to useless project like fruit fly dna research to focus on important things, like autism... except that the fruit fly DNA research has been instrumental in advancements made in understanding autism...

No, I have always stated that.  Now, we have a president elect that also states it.  I have said from the beginning, that the one asset Obama had was his refreshing honesty.  Whether that was due to his inexperience or just stupidity is open for debate.  But fortunately for us, we dont have to spin anything as we only have to quote what was said.

Oh, no you can't be saying this!--cheez!

I can and did.  Prove me wrong.  SHow me the hate filled diatribes by members of congress and the movies and statements in Hollywood wishing him harm and death.  Well, try at least.

I said prove your point, not re-inforce my point.  The question is not rhetorical, and is still very much valid.  Not about the smart ass, but about who the clown is.  I defy anyone to attempt to define him without using Obama's talking points and PR.

The reason liberals didn't like her is because they suspected this about Palin:

At least she knows how many states she was running to be VP of.  See the dual standards?  Blatant to anyone but a cultist of the new messiah.

ack!  Beat me to it Doc! 

At least she knows how many states in HER OWN COUNTRY.  The reason Obama doesn't know is because he really didn't run for President of the U.S.  He's really secretly running for World Leader.  I bet he knows much more about Africa than he does the U.S.

You know, the church reverent wright runs is as bad or WORSE then the KKK (look what they say about jews, and whites, and the USA, etc). Just with a different focus...

If a republican went to a church that is part of KKK chapter for years while being close chums with the preacher of said church who is a KKK leader... well, he would have been crucified in the media. For barak however, that is being excused.

Preaching about extremes for equality for African Americans is CLEARLY different than preaching of hate ethnic groups and superiority over those religious and ethnic groups.  You're being spoonfed fear, and you just lap it up don't you?

"9-11 was america's just deserves, it was the black people of the world striking back against our white opressors"

Explain to me how it is about EQUALITY and not about HATE.

Also, look up what their view is on jews.

Yes, it is.

But that's not the subject here. We were talking about "Reverend" Wright's sermons. He didn't preach equality.

Quoting Dr,
actually no, think about it. john McCain (if elected)Actually no, think about it.  Obama's parents are dead, and died at an age not much older than he is now.  McCain's mother is still a very active 90+.  No one is guaranteed tomorrow, and if we are going on genetics, McCain has nothign to worry about, but Obama sure does.
End of Dr's quote

McCain's mom wasn't an abused POW - That will likely affect his longevity.  Obama's mother died of ovarian cancer - Obama doesn't have ovaries. His father died in a car wreck - I'm not a doctor, but I don't think that's passed along genetically...

Quoting Dr,
And you can demonstrate this?No, the Clinton hate obsession was/is earth shattering. Though the demonizing of Obama may wind up beating them out - time will tell.I can see where you would mistakenly believe that.  But like all those who have only hate, you cannot see your own hate for the anger.  There was no hate of clinton.  There is and was a lot of contempt.  And there is a big difference.  But to you that only sees hate and only gives hate, I dont expect to see that.  Your hatred of Bush the last 8 years and now Palin (who is NOT running for president - although to see the mis-information and hate you would think so) is unprecedented.  Bu no longer unexpected.I actually feel sorry for you.  You have nothing left but hate.  Even Obama winning will not sooth the hate as you will just find another target.
End of Dr's quote

Did you get you mind reading certificate from a cereal box?  I do not wish ill on Bush or Palin.  I just wish them to go away.  There certainly was/is hate of the Clintons.  I saw it in my own family as well.  They never started an unprovoked war, eavesdropped on private americans' conversations, abused and tortured human beings.  Yes, justifiably, there's a bit of anger about these kinds of things.  When it comes to the life and liberty of humans, yes, there should be some expectations of upholding these values.  I don't recall that Bill Clinton started any wars under false pretenses, before, during, or after his presidency.  Palin is just simply not prepared, will likely never be prepared, to hold such high office.  She has likely risen to her level of incompetence as Gov of Alaska.  The fact that she wasn't running for Pres is inaccurate, because the job of VP is first and foremost to take over for the president.  Just like if miss alaska was unable to fullfil her duties, palin would have stepped in to take her place.  She was qualified for that one, I guess, but the duties of pres are just a bit out of her league.  Claiming to be god-fearing seems to be a whitewash for just about anything these days, or at least used to be, hopefully.  'He's responsible for the deaths of thousands and thousands of humans, but he says he's a christian, so I'll vote for him.  He's even talked to god!'  Talk about blind faith.  Conservatives acuse US of elevating Obama to messiah!  We are well aware Obama is just a human, and thankful he does not proclaim to have conversations with imaginary voices in his head.

A friend of a friend, a democrat, about to join in saying the pledge of allegiance while at a girl scout meeting with her daughter, was told by the other republican moms that 'terrorists were not required to say the pledge.'  I don't a single dem who even conceive of such a thing, much less vocallize it!  In front of little kids, spewing intolerance and hatred!  The hypocracy of  so many christians is outrageous.  I realize those are the loud-mouths that we hear, and those that actually espouse christian values are not as vocal, but it's time they stand up, and speak up against such poisonous venom.  The rabid christians are really no different than the islamic extremists - both are terrorists in their own right, holding people hostage with their suit-their-own-fancy interpretations of their respective 'holy' books.

So, just take a deep breath, relax, and let go of the lies and propoganda, political and religious.  And love thy neighbor!  Amen.

So you dont want to know who your president is?

It seems here we go again.  Moveon - dont ask clinton about his perjury, but definitely drag up every rumor about Bush (even to the point of fraud).  NOw we moveon again with Obama.

Sorry, I will not be a sycophant.  I have questions. They dont have to be answered, but I'll be damned if anyone is going to stop me from asking them.

Likely?  And you have studies to support this contention?  But then I suppose Obama smokes for his health too.

I do love the double speak.  Even when it comes to health issues, the liberals have to demigog it, to the point of becoming a mobius strip to support their biases.

did "you" hate come from cereal boxes?

But for the newbies, not all YOUs mean that person there.  YOu can be the royal you, or the plural you.  In this case, it was meant as the plural as in liberals.  If you are not a liberal, then I guess you dont have to worry.

I wish Obama would go away too - but put that in one hand and shit in the other and see which one stinks first.

From you perhaps?  People are mad that OJ got away with murder.  Martha Stewart did jail time for what clinton did.  SO yea, I have contempt for him for abusing the system.  Hate?  Hardly.  But keeping saying those talking points as you (liberals for you information) keep spewing the hate.  Dont expect me to sing kumbaya and join in your 1984.

Gasping horse, I know, but Paglia has a nice piece on Obama & Palin that nails things pretty well in my opinion.
